iramurphy Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 So, who's #1 in the FCS poll this week? Ag College in Fargo til they get beat again. No one else undefeated but this loss shows they are vulnerable. They have wins against decent teams this year and UNI is no slouch. Quote
WYOBISONMAN Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 So, who's #1 in the FCS poll this week? I think the Bison drop to 4 or 5. UNH and CC for sure will be higher. Quote
WYOBISONMAN Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 I agree. Last week I would have said I agree 100% and thought they would roll everyone on the way to #4 in a row. Now, I agree about 80%. However, the UND tolerance level is getting lower and lower. We expect to be at the same level as FU. That's a lot to ask, but that is what we expect. The Herd has to get the slow starting offense figured out. If not, no way does this team go to Frisco. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 I think the Bison drop to 4 or 5. UNH and CC for sure will be higher. I predict no lower than #3 in either poll. Quote

darell1976 Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 I predict no lower than #3 in either poll. I think 3 would be the spot for them, its too bad they don't play Illinois State that would be the game of the year. Makes for a good playoff matchup. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 The Herd has to get the slow starting offense figured out. First it was WSU, Montana, and now UNI putting ways to slow down the NDSU offense on tape; now, there's tape on how to attack the NDSU defense courtesy UNI. What I noticed was the UNI D line staying in their lanes and not allowing Wentz to scramble (breaking pass coverages), forcing him to stand in and pass (against coverage). So what's the story on UNH and Coastal Carolina? Flash and dash teams? Isn't UNH traditionally power ground game? Quote
iramurphy Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Coastal Carolina is 10-0 and should be #1. I stand corrected. Quote

So what's the story on UNH and Coastal Carolina? Flash and dash teams? Isn't UNH traditionally power ground game? I agree, but I don't think it has been a secret in how to slow down the NDSU offense the past few years, the problem lies in having the personnel to be able to cover man to man so that you can stack the line of scrimmage to stop the run and even if you do have that formula on defense you have to have an offense capable of moving the ball and getting first downs and staying on the field long enough to let your defense rest from the pounding they take from the NDSU offensive line, full backs, tight ends, and even their receivers.....they are pretty formidable and you have to have a lot of things go right to beat them. UNI bullied the bully yesterday. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 The most important thing UNI did yesterday? Remind the world that no one is undefeatable. Some of the aura is gone. Quote
WYOBISONMAN Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 The amount of penalties was a killer too..... Not a disciplined performance at all. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 UNIs DL, anchored by that monster NT won the game. If NDSU can't run, their offense falls apart and they lose. Quote
Matt Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Certainly stopping the run is goal number one to have a chance to beat the ac. But to deliver the beat down that UNI did, they were also able to do a couple of other things. Superior on special teams. Locked down the passing game. The ac receivers had difficulty getting separation. When they did, Wentz missed open receivers. When he did hit them, there were key drops. When everything clicked, there was a penalty. Stopping the run is where it all starts to have a shot, but UNI did that and more for a 20pt win. Quote

MafiaMan Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHWxi2B9YMg&feature=player_embedded I don't care what level of football this is...the team celebration and what-happened-next made me laugh out loud... Yes, I know it's Mercer vs Warner but this had to go somewhere...love the official standing there waiting for the "bowling pins" to get knocked down so he can throw the yellow flag. LOL! 1 Quote

geaux_sioux Posted November 16, 2014 Author Posted November 16, 2014 Big boy is light on his feet too. A+ on the celebration. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted November 17, 2014 Author Posted November 17, 2014 Montana fans' Christmas came early this year. Their coach is retiring. They're probably popping bottles and talking about bringing back Pflugrad or hiring away Saban. 1 Quote
MafiaMan Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Montana is wearing this tomorrow against Montana State. The back bumper will have the counties of the state on them. Troll on, Montana! I like it! Quote
